"I don't doubt that it's important, but… are you sure this is the right time to leave Midgar? With what is going on in the Science Department… we need all the hands we have here."

"That's why I'm recalling Reno and Rude," Tseng answers, as he finishes tidying up his desk. "I'll take over for them and they'll take over for me. You'll take the lead for now, fill them in."

Cissnei sighs, clasping her elbows loosely, glancing around the office. It already seems a little emptier. "You're the best informed on the situation here, Acting Director Tseng."

Tseng gives her a look and picks up his suitcase. "I know it's a lot to ask this suddenly, but you'll be fine. You have good instincts, Cissnei. And you won't be by yourself for long - Reno and Rude will be here in a day. They'll help you."

"I know I will be fine," Cissnei says with a smile. "The Science Department is usefully sexist, they won't even notice my existence. I just don't like the implication that whatever is going on with Sephiroth trumps what's going on here. That recording must've been bad news."

She hadn't understood more than a few words, her Wutai was still rudimentary - but just hearing Sephiroth, of all people, speaking the language fluently was a bit startling. And judging by Tseng's reaction…

Tseng hesitates and then turns away from his desk. "There's a very real chance that Sephiroth might be thinking of deflection. He's certainly showing sympathy towards the Wutai cause - I don't have to tell you what kind of disaster that would be for the company."

"... No, I get it," Cissnei says and sighs. "It would be a disaster."

"Reno and Rude aren't equipped to handle it. I am not either, no one is, but at least I can offer an alternative view on the situation."

"Alright," Cissnei hums with understanding. "... I'm not put in charge of the office, right?" she then asks and offers him a smile. "Be a bit weird, to put the rookie in charge."

"Rude will be in charge of the office once he gets back - Reno will manage operations. Anything more important than the usual fare, you refer it back to me," Tseng instructs. "But this ongoing situation with the SOLDIER program, I want you to stay on top of it, alright?"

"Of course," Cissnei agrees. "I'll keep watch. I'll message you about any new developments."

"Mn," Tseng nods, and together they head for the elevators.

Cissnei is quiet until they make it inside and begin the slow ride to the top.

"So, what is really going on with Sephiroth?" she asks curiously, giving her boss a sideways look.  "I've heard so many rumours. He's developing new magical abilities, right? Ones he doesn't need Materia for."

"Mn. There are many theories," Tseng says. "It's impossible to say which one is closest to the truth. The most common is that he's learned to… read the Mako in his veins."

Cissnei arches her brows and leans against the side of the elevator. "Read it, like… read the memories in the Lifestream?"

Tseng gives her a look. "Don't let anyone from the Science Department hear you say that."

Cissnei grins cheekily. "I won't! But that's it, isn't it? The same Ancient knowledge that makes Materia produce magic is in Mako, right? And Sephiroth has more Mako in him than anyone. So he has the most potential knowledge. Right?"

Tseng shakes his head. "That's the theory."

"Oh, so you don't think that's it?"

"Hmm. I don't know what to think yet. I haven't had the chance to fully observe him. But based on Reno and Rude's reports… no, I don't think that's it. Or at least, it's not all of it."

"Oh?" Cissnei asks interestedly, clasping her elbows again and looking at him closely. "What then? Is it the Ancient blood in his veins?"

Tseng casts her a sideways look. "Where did you hear that?"

"Oh, it's going around! Rumour has it he's a descendant of the Ancients - that's why he looks the way he does, all mystic and ethereal."

Tseng hums noncommittally and looks up at the floor counter. "Is that right?"

Cissnei grins at him. It absolutely is. "So, is that what's going on? Sephiroth coming into his own as an Ancient?"

"I wouldn't know," he says flatly. "And I won't make any conclusions until I see him. As it is, wherever is going on in his head isn't as important as what he will do going forward. He can sprout horns and tail, for all I care, so long as he stays on the right side when he does it."

"How cold," Cissnei says teasingly. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you didn't like him."

"I don't like him. I don't dislike him," Tseng says, not looking down from the counter. "But he's a valued part of the company."

"Mmhmm. Very valued," Cissnei agrees, smiling mirthlessly and then shakes her head. "You know, I kinda pity him."

"... For his upbringing?" Tseng asks.

"For his everything," Cissnei says and sighs. "I read his file too, you know - the unclassified bits, anyway. Sephiroth is like this refined concentrate of everything Shinra stands for. It's a lot for any one person to handle."

"... I guess that's one way to view it," Tseng muses, looking away.

Cissnei chuckles. Not even a bit of sympathy on his face. "So cold," she says and looks up as the doors open. Together they step out of the elevator and Cissnei walks Tseng towards the helicopter waiting on the pad. She hangs around while he goes about pre-flight checks and the startup sequence.

"What about the girl in the slums?" Cissnei asks. "Should we check up on her for you while you're away?"

Tseng hesitates between flicking switches. "If you have the time. Just make sure she and her mother are alright. Keep your distance," he says.

"Of course, she won't even know I'm there," Cissnei agrees. "I don't suppose there's a file on her we should make notes on?"

"Make a new one."

Cissnei smiles and steps back away from the helicopter "Alright, alright, keep your secrets," she says. "Hope you have a safe trip, Tseng. Have fun in Wutai!"

"I won't," Tseng answers, pulling headphones on. "I never do."

The Turks in Crisis Core FFVII Reunion

[frickingnerd]

cissnei with a s/o who has abandonment issues

pairing: cissnei x gn!reader

a/n: i love cissnei so fricking much, i'm not a single bit normal about her (: she's just the sweetest <3

cissnei noticed that you were a bit clingy when the two of you first met. but it wasn't until she started dating you and learned more of your past that she found out you struggle with abandonment issues

while she found your clinginess cute and endearing, she now feels sorry for not noticing anything sooner

cissnei always makes sure to let you know exactly where is and where she'll be going

sometimes, she's gone for days, on a mission with the turks. but she always assures you that she'll come back to you!

cissnei makes an effort to bring you little gifts too, to show you that she's been thinking about you, even when the two of you were separated

whenever something happens that upsets you, cissnei rushes to your side to comfort you – even if she has to leave her work behind!

she'll hold you in her arms, playing with your hair as she reminds you how much you mean to her and that she'd never abandon you!

[altocat]

Alright. So, I am 🪨'd and have a very important ask.

Our favorite trio + dynamic duo each get assigned with an emotional support Turk. Reno, Rude, Cissnei, Elena, and Tseng get stuck with who and why?

Angeal is paired with Reno, mostly because Angeal has experience bouncing off of loudmouthed redheads. It's not terribly relaxing for him, mostly because Reno keeps pushing his buttons. But at least Reno isn't an arrogant idiot like Genesis. Just a...normal idiot.

Zack is NOT allowed with Cissnei, as they're too busy flirting with each other. He is given Tseng due to their ability to work well together. And Tseng helps Zack see the bigger picture on a lot of issues, even if Zack finds him to be kind of a stick in the mud.

Genesis is given Rude, who efficiently and quietly curbstomps so much of Genesis' daily bullshit it's not even funny. Genesis chafes at this for a while, but comes to gradually appreciate Rude overall. He can vent and whine and complain all day long and Rude just listens. It's pretty cathartic.

Sephiroth is given Elena of all people to work with. This proves to be surprisingly wholesome in the long run. While Sephiroth is a task master with little patience for Elena scampering clumsily about, he'd be lying if he didn't find her enthusiasm kind of charming. She's one of the few people who can actually get him to laugh.

Cloud and Cissnei are paired off. Cloud's a bit shy and squirmy with a pretty girl overseeing him, but Cissnei is actually very friendly and gentle, surprisingly relaxing for a nervous wreck like Cloud to be around.

[little-black-dress-zack-fair]

Tseng: Ok everyone, if Aerith is crying what do we do?

Elena: Cry with her.

Shotgun: Bring her hot cocoa.

Reno: The person who did it would fall from several miles in the air

Cissnei: Yeah, Reno's one.
